I think
One of the hardest things I ever had to do is accept that I'm human.
Not a robot.
Not a toy.
And unfortunately, not clay.
I think
One of the hardest things my parents had to accept is that I'm human.
Not their robot.
Not their toy.
And unfortunately, not clay they could mold.
They watched me live and still thought I was dead.
I don't know how, but I can't blame them, I did too.
To this day, I still don't think they can love.
To feel, to care, to hold a hand without expecting an arm around their shoulder.
They were the type to help you wrap a bandaid around a wound, and still be the cause of it.
To love was to hurt and I think that's how I still perceive love.
A slap across the face was a synonym for an 'I love you'
A silent treatment used to replace a 'Im sorry'
And I'm okay with it.
For some reason.
It's fine.
